|
Special
Meeting of Stockholders.
The Corporate Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts
to
continue to obtain the permission of the Chancery Court to adjourn
the
Special Meeting of Stockholders ordered by the Chancery Court in
the Xxxxx
Chancery Litigation until such time as the Company settles the Xxxxx
Chancery Litigation. In the event a settlement is not reached that
provides for the cancellation of the Special Meeting of Stockholders,
Xxxxxx Energy and the Director Parties, in their capacity as stockholders,
agree to support the Company’s request in the XXXX Adversary Proceeding
for an injunction against the conduct of the Special Meeting. In
the event
the Bankruptcy Court declines to issue such an injunction, Xxxxxx
Energy
and the Director Parties, in their capacity as stockholders, agree
to vote
the shares they own of the Company’s common stock at the Special Meeting
of Stockholders and at any adjournment or postponement thereof against
removal of any Directors. If no quorum is present at any time the
Special
Meeting of Stockholders is called to order, Xxxxxx Energy and the
Director
Parties further agree to vote the shares they own of the Company’s common
stock for adjournment of the Special Meeting until the date proposed
for
adjournment by resolution of the Board of Directors.
|
|
||
|
(b)
|
Annual
Meeting of Stockholders.
The Company and Xxxxxx Energy shall file a stipulation or other pleading
dismissing the Xxxxxx Energy Chancery Litigation without prejudice,
and
the Companies shall file a stipulation or other pleading dismissing
Xxxxxx
Energy from the XXXX Adversary Proceeding without prejudice, in each
case
on or immediately after the Implementation Date occurs. The Director
Parties agree not to convene, and the Corporate Parties
agree not to seek to convene, any special meeting of
stockholders. Except as provided in subsection 4(a), the Director
Parties
further agree not to convene, and the Corporate Parties further agree
not
to seek to convene, any annual meeting of stockholders until confirmation
and substantial consummation of Chapter 11 plans for the Companies
in the
Chapter 11 Cases (the “Post-Confirmation
Annual Meeting”).
The Parties further agree that the date for the Post-Confirmation
Annual
Meeting called by the Company shall not be fixed, and no notice for
any
such Post-Confirmation Annual Meeting shall be sent to stockholders,
until
the Company has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year
ended December 31, 2007 with the SEC, including the financial statements
required by SEC regulations. The Parties also agree that the date
fixed by
the Board of Directors for the Post-Confirmation Annual Meeting shall
permit the Company to comply with SEC regulations for the solicitation
of
proxies in sending notice of the annual meeting to stockholders.
|
|
9
(c)
|
No
Other Stockholder Action.
Each Party agrees that, until the confirmation and substantial
consummation of Chapter 11 plans for each of the Companies in the
Chapter
11 Cases, neither it nor any of its Affiliates will, except as expressly
provided for in this Agreement, (i) seek the removal of any Director,
(ii)
solicit any consent from or communicate with, or seek to advise or
influence, any stockholder to convene a meeting of stockholders or
for the
approval of any stockholder proposals at any meeting of stockholders,
(iii) disclose to other stockholders or the public a plan or intention
inconsistent with the foregoing, or (iv) advise, assist, induce or
encourage, or enter into any discussions, negotiations, agreements
(including voting agreements) or arrangements with, any other person
with
respect to, or to do, any of the foregoing; provided
that
nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit communications among each
Party
and its Affiliates. Each Party agrees that it will be responsible
for any
breach of this provision by any person or entity it “controls” or is
“controlled” by (as such terms are defined by SEC Rule 12b-2);
provided,
however, that
for purposes of this subsection 3(c), none of the Companies shall
be
deemed an entity controlled by any Party in breach; and provided
further that
all Parties agree that the nomination by the Incumbent Directors
of any
Incumbent Director or by Xxxxxx Energy of any Xxxxxx Director does
not
create or constitute any presumption that such Director Party is
an
Affiliate of the Party nominating such Director Party.
|
|
|
(d)
|
Order
of the Bankruptcy Court.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the Parties
agree that if the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent
jurisdiction orders the Company or the Directors to convene a meeting
of
stockholders, any actions taken by the Company or the Directors to
convene
such a meeting of stockholders in compliance with the order of the
Bankruptcy Court or such other court of competent jurisdiction shall
not
constitute a breach of this Agreement.

adjournment or postponement thereof for the election of each Incumbent
Director and each Xxxxxx Director, to serve until the Post-Confirmation
Annual Meeting. Xxxxxx Energy and each Director Party further agree
to
vote their respective shares at the 211(c) Annual Meeting and at
any
adjournment or postponement thereof against any other proposal except
for
the election of Directors. Xxxxxx Energy may terminate any voting
agreement with respect to the shares of the Company it has entered

||
|
(iii)
|
The
Companies shall file a motion to dismiss Xxxxxx Energy from the XXXX

arrangements if the Incumbent Directors and the Xxxxxx Directors
are not
elected as Directors at the 211(c) Annual Meeting.
|
(c)
|
Corporate
